Hey,

I am hoping someone here is able to help me. I have a Keystation 88es which is a USB midi controller that even Apple recommends for use in garageband.

The problem is that when you generate a sound using the keyboard on the screen it is a proper volume but when you press the same key on the usb keyboard it is very quiet. I have tried to find some setting somewhere that sets the volume that is generated from a USB midi device but I can't find anything.

I don't think it is a problem with the keyboard itself because all it does is send a signal to tell the computer what sound to play and well that works fine.

Any ideas?

It's because the keystation registers the velocity at which you press the key - the onscreen keyboard automatically registers at full velocity.

If you go into the garageband preferences you can increase the sensitivity of the keyboard.

That should help, as I had the same problem with my keyboard.
